+## Fast Factories
+### label_to_id
+
+When using fixtures with the label same as the system_code, use this method to return the ID of the of the fixture and use this in Factories instead of using a lookup as it does not need a DB search.
+
+ eg:
+ Fixture File
+----------------------------------------
+ priority_high:
+   name: Priorities
+   system_code: priority_high
+   parent: priority
+----------------------------------------
+
+#### in Factory
+---------------------------------------
+ priority: { Selection.priority_high }     <== Don't do this as it will need a DB lookup
+
+ priority_id: { Selection.label_to_id(:priority_high) }    <== This will be much quicker
